Chapter 289 Continue to Follow the Clues

Cen Lian judged that this gang was probably avoiding risks, so they tried not to cause any big trouble in Xinjiang Province.

Gangs like them often conduct extremely dangerous transactions. Cen Lian knew very well that with the rigorous investigation in Xinjiang Province, it would be much more difficult for them to kill people and dispose of corpses, and it was impossible for them to have no clues for so many years.

After all, there are checkpoints at every toll station in and out of Xinjiang Province, and there are a large number of checkpoints on the way. It is already very difficult to transport smuggled goods out of Xinjiang Province, not to mention people and people's fragments.

The probability of such things being transported for three years without being discovered may be lower than the moon hitting the earth.

"He doesn't want to kill people in Xinjiang Province," Wu Qiushan answered Tang Hua's question while Cen Lian was thinking, "It is also possible that they need this B&B owner to be alive to take some things out of Xinjiang Province."

"Isn't it because they are afraid that writing too much about Xinjiang Province will be censored?" Qu Zihan's voice came floatingly, and it seemed that he didn't say anything.

...

After confirming Zhao Yitong's identity, Cen Lian immediately got some surveillance videos retrieved by the local police during the investigation after he was reported missing.

The video footage mainly came from his homestay, but Cen Lian did not see any familiar faces in all the surveillance, whether it was Liu Runfeng or the other two people in Hong Yanfeng's car before his death.

However, he still found clues of Liu Runfeng in the large amount of surveillance retrieved by the local police.

He once flashed under the security camera near Zhao Yitong's homestay.

That was six days before Zhao Yitong reported missing.

But the names of Liu Runfeng and the fake ID he had used for a long time did not appear in the accommodation list of Zhao Yitong's homestay.

However, Cen Lian still had doubts about the people on the list. While others were busy, Cen Lian quietly sorted out the data in front of his computer and prepared to retrieve all the household registration information of the suspects for review.

Mainly to see photos.

The local police retrieved the list of guests within a month before Zhao Yitong disappeared. There were a total of 449 people, which was a large number. When checking at that time, they should have confirmed where these people came from and where they went. Cen Lian saw the relevant records in the case file, but the records were all text without photos.

His plug-in has not evolved to the point where it can identify criminal records without looking at faces.

Among the 449 people, Cen Lian excluded children under 14 and the elderly over 65, and entered the remaining 280 people into the system one by one, resigned to the human wave tactics.

"Is this considered an exhaustive search?" Cen Lian thought as he entered the names.

It is said that more than 280 people need to be checked, but the actual operation is much more efficient than Cen Lian imagined.

Enter the name, take a look at the photo, and the next one.

If the system loading speed is not too slow, he can even quickly check everyone at a speed of one in 30 seconds.

The premise is that these people have no criminal records.

Of course, this is not what he wants to see.

So when he swiped to the 107th person on the list, Cen Lian's hands that were clacking on the keyboard stopped.

A man with an unremarkable appearance appeared in front of him.

The photo on the household registration information looks like a recent ID photo, which matches his current age of 36.

In the photo, Yao Wujia, who would be hard to find in a crowd, is staring at Cen Lian with his text bubble that has broken through the computer screen, as if to say: See if my text bubble is long enough!
